    Westinghouse lvm-42w2 only standby voltage

    So my buddy gave me this tv to look at because it would not turn on. Specifically when it is plugged in the light on the front (a ring with a w) is lit. Once the power button is pressed the light goes off and the set clicks with nothing on the screen. I opened the set to test voltages from the power supply and only read the 5v standby voltage. I then removed the board and tested the components i could test (diodes fuses etc) and came across these readings on the two (i think) mosfet transistors.

    Q302
    Black lead. Red lead. Reading.
    Source. Drain. 1
    Source. Gate. 1
    G. D. 1
    G. S. 578
    D. S. 426
    D. G. 1

    Q301
    Source. Drain. 1
    Source. Gate. Starts at 1900s and steadily falls
    G. D. 1
    G. S. 086
    D. S. 427
    D. G. 545

    I havent looked at a schematic or a data sheet on them (they are buried under a heatsink and i cant read the numbers). Is it a good assumption that the q301 transistor is bad and needs to be replaced? If so it is going to be a pain but a fun challenge i guess
    Doing this on the side to make some extra money for my daughters dance competition.

    It may have Gate/Source resistor in parallel. Are those reading in Diode mode or Ohm mode, what do you get in Ohm mode?
    How about the command signals (PS-ON, BL-ON, etc.) from the main board to turn on the power supply? How about the DCV on the main filter cap when the TV is not turned on and when it is turned on?
    How about good clear pictures of the whole backside of the TV and the boards?
    We do not have the TV in front of us to look at to see what the setup is.

      Zombie Samsung UN55NU6900F dead / no standby voltage - randomly came to life after hours of troubleshooting then died
      by tvguy12012012120
      This is my first attempt at troubleshooting a board like this, I know I could just buy a new board but I'm curious to figure out how this works. I've been testing different components in the evenings this week and I think the problem is with the IC failing to start up for some reason. When the board is plugged in there is no standby voltage.

      Then today it randomly sprung to life like a zombie but shortly died thereafter. I have no idea why it would have done that and its the first time I've seen it running. I discharged capacitors on the board last night, then it was sitting today....

      Samsung UN55KU6300F no standby voltage
      by x_orange90_x
      I have no standby indicator light and no light on the optical port. I checked the standby voltage on the two mosfets in the top left and they both read 30mV. I checked the fuse and it has continuity. I also checked the voltage on the two large 450v caps they both read 153v. All of these voltages are the same with and without the main board connected as well as with backlights connected/disconnected.

      Nothing looks obvious like a burned ceramic disc cap or bulged electrolytic. No burned resistors, diodes, or anything like that....

      Philips TV 37pfl5604h/12 no standby voltage
      by Bad_IC


      Hello,
      I have a problem with this TV, the standby voltage is not present. I have checked the components around the IC fsq510's area and they seem to work, also replaced this IC but the problem persists.
      These are the voltages in some pins of IC fsq510:
      Vcc=18v
      D=320v
      Vstr=154v
      Unfortunately, I couldn't find the schematic
      What else could I check?
      Is it possible to provide standby voltage from an external source to allow the TV to turn on?
      Thank you​...

      Asus GL503GE 3.3 standby voltage low
      by brock-s
      An Asus GL503GE laptop arrived that had had a screw dropped on the motherboard while the battery was connected. This resulted in a physical damage to the 3.3v / 5v voltage controller RT6575DGQW (pu28 on schematic, page 40). Additionally, the trace to pin 12 (VIN 19v supply) was burnt.

      Replaced the RT6575DGQW with a new one, repaired the damaged trace. Only getting 0.7V instead of the expected 3.3v standby voltage (3V_S5 on schematic).

      Replaced the AON7408 PQ60 mosfet from a donor board as resistance was low on the gate (I did not write this value down, as I optimistically...

      JSK4228-050 Power Supply Standby voltage changing! (Possible from Wharfedale LTF37K1)
      by reessi
      Hello,

      I am trying to re-purpose this power supply that I saved years ago from a tv with a cracked screen for a monitor but that is not really that relevent at the moment. I do not recall which tv but a google search looks like it is from Wharfedale LTF37K1.

      You may notice I made some alterations moving some components to the top and some wires which are from a 5v regulator I fitted to the 12v output as the monitor requires 5v. The standby was already at fault from the beginning, it has nothing to do with the alterations...

      Years ago it had some bulging caps...
